Sacramento State’s Distinguished Service Awards celebrate the
accomplishments of the University’s distinguished alumni. This year’s celebration
was held Thursday, April 14, at the Alumni Center. Established in 1972, the
Sacramento State Alumni Association and the University jointly recognize alumni
achievements in four categories. Distinguished Service Awards are given in recognition
of professional achievements and community service. The Lifetime Achievement Award is given
to alumni for exceptional career achievements and exceptional contributions to the
campus and the community. The Honorary Alumnus Awards are given to friends of the University,
and the Rising Star Award is given to a recent graduate for outstanding professional contributions.
